Google is your friend.

I want you to say it. I know the number.

Lol Winnik. What a plug.

At least his bird of a wife has a solid career on the hockey wives show

 

[Hunter368]

I'm actually legitimately worried about Koivu after that hit.

Me to, I thought buff killed him. Haha

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Look at that. He’s got you all worked up. Cute.

Dude, your team got dumpstered tonight and look like they're going out in four straight. Believe me, I'm not the one that's worked up.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I don't mind the rough stuff in the end. Like to see some fight still in the Wild. Right now it is all Jets. They are looking good lines 1-4. And all 6 D have been solid.

Couple of observations.

Morrissey has been a rock. IMO he's the best Jets D man and one of their most valuable players.
Laine, is getting better. He already has 2 goals and an assist in his first 2 playoff games, but I can see him getting more dominant. The BPA is showing why he was Liiga's MVP.
Roslovic immediate impact, and not only did not look out of place, but very good tonight. Going to be hard to take him out of the line up.
Chariot, good of him to step in to fight Seether. Players take notice of this.
Hellybuyck, looking very solid early in the playoffs. This may be the most important point.

Liking what I am seeing. Series is not over, but if Jets win game 3. It is pretty much over.

I'm not sure any Wild player did.

Dubnyk did, he played real well in both games

 

[rynryn]

Poor Dubnyk.

 

[Wild11MN]

Dubnyk did, he played real well in both games

I'll give you that. Dubynk has certainly given us a chance to get lucky in both games. Hard to complain about him right now.

 

[KCC]

Been men against boys so far. Ouch

 

[BigZ65]

Dubnyk made some saves that challenged the integrity of his core muscles and tendons when the game was already over that he easily could have given up on. Guy has a lot of pride, have to be impressed.

 

[almostawake]

Wild aren't going to get too far with matchups.

The only Jets line that could really be exploited, at least from a defensive point of view, is the Laine-Stastny-Ehlers line. But then you're playing with fire.

IMO this series is far from over. A team is never genuinely in trouble until they win a home game. Wild could easily take both of their home games.

But they're not going to get there by "matchups". They can only get there by getting a much better performance from every player on their roster outside Dubynk.

 

[Hunter368]

Dubnyk is the only Wild player keeping his team from blow outs in each game. Complete domination by the Jets.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Wild have some real plugs in there just for the rough stuff. Pretty much a 2 line team and Koivu thinks he is on Mars right now after Buff destroyed him. I said Jets in 5 and nothing is changing that watching these two games.

 

[bustamente]

I hear there's a storm coming to Minnesota a White Out one could say....................oh and there's a real storm coming.

I guess I don't see your point... Wild have won 2 series in the time frame you guys are talking about... how is the jets 2 playoff wins the same? I'm confused? Not that any of this matters anyways it more shows your pettiness

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

For those obsessed with the past, I'm sure you can find many of the Wild's glorious playoff victories on nhl.tv's archives.

Perhaps after that you can discuss them on the history of hockey board.

This thread is about the series currently ongoing between the Winnipeg Jets and the Minnesota Wild.

The point is Wild fans are throwing irrelevant playoff history at Jets fans, building up their mostly superior run of wild card births and early exits.

Why the ego?

Reminds me of my fellow Viking fans trotting out how often the Vikes have made the playoffs.

Haven't been to a Super Bowl in 40 years.

Ask me how well the playoff participant argument goes with my Packer buddies.

 

[antiqueslivers]

yeah I hear the actual weather will be prepping Minny's game for winnipeg.

Wild have gone down 0-2 in 7 of their last 8 series since 2013. Business as usual

yes, the Wild are goons. for sure, they're all about the rough stuff.

it was hailing today. thunder and lightning and snow just a little bit ago.

 

[wpgallday1960]

Wow 2 playoff wins in a row. We're getting spoiled I tells ya!!!!!

 

[rynryn]

hey even before this series started i picked jets as my back-up team so...insulating myself against disappointment.

 

[bennysflyers16]

That was a whooping ,,,

Don't get why Tanev would give them any hope by taking that beating tho, can't get involved in those after you spank them.

Madness.
